How can I restrict my method arguments for only Set and List type of collection, not Map?

Question

I have similar kind of two methods for different types of arguments.
1. For java.util.Set

public static <T> List<? super T> consumeSet(Set<? extends T> collection){
    return null;
}

2. For java.util.List BR>

public static <T> List<? super T> consumeList(List<? extends T> collection){
    return null;
}

I want to implement one common method which consumes only implements of List or Set but not Map . I am trying below mentioned method signature. Is it the right way to do this? If not, can anyone suggest me the right way? Thanks.

public static <T,V extends Set<T> & List<T>> List<? super T> consumeListAndSetButNotMap(V collection){
        return null;
    }

Answer 1

You can use the shared Collection interface. That won't accept Map .
